THIRD DAT.
The Most Brilliant Day of All.
An Immense Crowd of People in At*
tendance
If there were any who doubted that th?
people of Georgia were coming to the
fair this year, those doubts were all glo
riously dispelled by the immense crowd
of spectators which poured into Central
City Park yesterday. The people came
not only in regiments, squads, platoons,
couples and singly, bnt they poured down
in avalanches coming from every part of
the State. The trains all came in loaded
unti 1 there was barely standing room for
another passenger, and all sorts of pri
vate conveyances were brought into re
quisition. In fact every available means
of getting to the fair was adopted, and it
seems as if the whole State had given its
people a boll day to come to the fair.
An unusual feature of the crowd was
that it was largely composed of country
people—men and women who are en
gaged in making the wealth of the State.
They could be seen in squads all over the
grounds and many a bouquet of country
girls, all neatly and even handsomely at
tired, attracted the admiring attention
of many city beaux. The buildings were
all jammed during the entire day and
while the exhibition of stock was going
on the immense hippodrome presented a
sea of faces which gave some idea of tho
old Roman crowds who used to assemble
in their amphitheatre to witness their
sports. During the races in the after
noon it is the opinion of well informed
gentlemen that more people were in the
grand stand than were ever there before.
THE EXHIBITION,
which on Tuesday evening seemed to
have reached a degree of perfection which
precluded any further improvement, was
better than ever. Upon going npon the
groun Is we found that more goods had
arrived: more machinery had been
erected; more poultry was on the ground,
and, notwithstanding all this, goods
were arriving and entries being made all
day; and at a late hour last evening we
saw some boxes being unloaded that had
come all the way from Paterson, N. J.,
having been seventeen days on the way.
THE MACHINERY DEPARTMENT
is much better than the first two days
indicated it would be. Several additional
machines have arrived and are being
erected. Messrs. Schofield and Crockett
are both arranging to operate gins with
their powers. All. the gins in the hall
were put to work yesterday and attracted
a great deal of attention, Machinery Hall
being pretty well crowded all day.
ME8SR8. MALONE, WILLINGHAM & CO.
are showing Wright’s anti-friction horse
power to a very excellent advantage.
They have erected a platform upon
which one of the machines is placed, and
a small gin-house accommodates one of
Pratt’s gins. A couple of mules below
supply the motive power, and show the
public how easy a thing it is for the
power to draw the gin. While we were
on the platform yesterday, we saw several
experts make a close examination of this
horse-power, and the expression of opin
ion was unanimously in its favor. The
machine runs easily and almost without
a jar, and put? apparently a small
amount of labor upon the mule3 to pull a
forty-saw gin. To-day it will also pull a
grist mill, in connection with the gin.
THE COUNTY DISPLAYS.
Premium Hall was so crowded yester
day that it was impossible to get about
among the county displays, in order to
make anything like a clever report of
them. Each county makes a perfect fair
of itself, and were their articles spread
out os they should be, and would be
if there were room, there is no telling
how imposing each display would be.
An important feature in all of them is
their displays of farm, garden and orchard
products, all of which are very much finer
than was expected, both as to quality and
variety of the products exhibited.
The most noticeable feature in all,
however, is the handiwork of the women.
Take from any one of the five counties
tho contribution of the ladies, and the
display would lose all of its beauty and
more than half its interest. They all
show how earnest and patriotic the wo
men are and what worthy examples the
daughters of Georgia set for her sons to
emulate.
STOCK EXHIBITION CONTINUED.
With the desire to avoid even the ap
pearance of partiality, the Executive Com
mittee and managers of the fair, deter
mined at the outset to suppress the names
•if the owners of entries of every descrip
tion, together with all particulars relat
ing to the same. In every instance, there
fore, premiums will be awarded to the
number of the winning entry simply, with
out any regard to the name or standing
of the owner. This is eminently proper,
as merit should be the only criterion in
tho premises.
. But this is a mo3t fatal regulation to
press reporters, as tiiey have no data by
which to locate anything. Thus the
writer in a stroll among the stalls and
pens of the live stock yesterday, found a
most imposing array of swine,- cattle,
sheep, hogs and poultry, but could learn
nothing of their history, pedigree, origin
or ownership- Mr. John Merryman’s en
tries, and tho36 of Dr. L. W. Knight, of
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, were tho only
exceptions.
The beautiful young Hereford cattle of
the former have already been described,
and were sold at fair prices on the
grounds.
Dr. Knight exhibited one blooded bull,
ono two year old thoroughbred colt, one
fine sow and pigs, four jacks, two jennies
and two saddle horses. One of the jacks,
an imported Spanish, is remarkable tor
its size and beauty. The Doctor wishes to
dispose of his fine stock, and we trust
they will all find purchasers - in Georgia
Among the cattle we noticed two
splendid Brahma bulls of great size,
whose humps and dromedary appearance
attracted much attention.
A pair of steers from Gordon county
could hardly be excelled even in Ken
tucky or Ohio. They wer% perfect
matches, and must have weighed 1,800
lbs. each.
Mr. Nisbet had a magnificent Devon
short-horn bull on the ground, which was
a model of beauty and strength.
There were several very superior Dur
ham bulls to he seen also, hut we could
learn nothing concerning them.
Mr. W. H. Miller, of Barnes ville, was
the owner of two twin milch cows of pre
cisely similar color and size, both of
which had calves of their own and were
excellent milkers.
C. T. Ward, Esq., of Bibb, also exhib-
SHEEP AND GOATS.
The show of these animals, though.not
very extensive, was highly creditable.
The Cashmere goafs and merinos were
most conspicuous. A dog law must be
enacted before Georgia can ever be called
a wool-growing State.
swine. >
The display of hogs of every age and
variety was exceedingly large and fine.
Cobb seemed to be the banner county in
this part of the exhibition, thongh the
entries were numerous from other sec
tions. We were specially struck with the
black Essex specimens, which were al
most destitute of hair. Some sows, with
their litters of yoang ones also, were pic
tures of sleekness and content. But, as
before stated, no particulars can be given
of these animals because no information
could be gathered concerning * them.
Messrs. Hudson & Hightower, of Griffin,
however, exhibited a Berkshire pig which,
at the ago of thirteen weeks and five
days, weighs 145 pounds, and is a perfect
prodigy of a porcine youngster.
THE POULTRY SHOW
would require a whole issue of this paper,
to do it justice. There were Polands,
Houdans, Brahmas, Leghorns, Cochins
Chinas of a half dozen varieties, ducks,
geese, pigeons, and any other possible
style of farm yard bird. Even the forest
had been subsidized and a majestic bald
eagle captured and placed on exhibition.
The visitors to the Fair will find that
it will require an entire morning to ex
amine properly this grafid feathered ex
position. Indeed the stock department of
the fair generally, is very full and com
plete, affording the most gratifying evi
dence of increased interest in this im
portant branch of plantation economy.

The Bride who Said No at the Al
tar.—On Sunday last as the Rev. Mr.
Garmon, in York, Pennsylvania, was con
ducting the services attheUnion Church,
the sexton handed him a note. After
the sermon was completed the minister
annonneed he had the pleasure of stating
that a couple in the congregation desired
to be united in the holy bonds of matri
mony, and that the candidates should
immediately present themselves. There
was a considerable flutter in the assem
blage—every eye staring around to see
the happy couple. After some delay,
a fine and buoyant couple came march
ing up th“ aisle to the altar. Tho rev
erend gentleman immediately proceeded
with the ceremony, and the groom an
swered promptly “Yes, I will,” but to the
dismay and astonishment of the clergy
man and audience, when it come to the
bride’s turn, she answered just as prompt
ly, "No, I will not,” and smilingly left
the church all alone, leaving the half
married man in a quandary what to do.
'Such is life.” ’
Chicago will have its joke on St. Louis,
even on such a grave subject as the
money pinch. The Tribune quotes as
follows from a St. Louis broker’s circular
dated October 18th s
‘Money is so scarce that it can hardly
bo had for the ordinary purposes of life,
whilst several of the largest manufactu
rers are running on shore time, and no
one contracting ahead, agreeing to pay
money at a fixed future period. Cl* aring-
house certificates, a species of irredeema
ble currency, are used in payment of sums
of even $10 and $20.”
And then lets off this chuckle; “In
Chicago, on the other hand, money is so
plenty that one oE our banks a day or two
since requested one of its customers, as a
favor, to take $25,000 in currency and
pay it out for grain, rather than to check
against them.”

is by actual count of bolls, at l.-ast 200 percent,

of the Logau Fertilizer, composted it as formula

GENTS :. I composted tho Logan Compound I
bought from you, and put it on cotton on gray
lnpil, and used it on mvjann at a cost of 31 87*
per acre. I also used the Pendleton Compouud
and tno English Stonewall. The Logan has proved
as good os either ot the others. I am much pleased
with it. The cotton him fruited well ami haa
returned its fruit. Very littlo rust is cbservabla
where the Logan is used and the weight of lint in
proportion to seed cotton is remarkable, being-
much in excess of what is usual. I found it equate
ly good on com and potatoes. Ilia Logan is a*
excellent fertilizer,and lean honestly recommend,
its use generally. Yours reaper!fully.
